Medicinal science is one of those things we generally put on the back burner as a given (Let's just leave out the whole COVID thing for the purposes of this statement). The doctors and scientists in this field generally have a handle on things and at least know when something needs treating and when something does not... right??? Let me introduce you to the world of Morgellons disease, where you could ask the crazy man with all those red suede fedoras who lives down the street (you know the guy!) and he will be able to give you as accurate an answer on Morgellons disease compared to the average doctor. what is it??? what are the symptoms??? is it caused by aliens??? what's that behind you??? take a listen and find out (or just look behind you cause we don't answer that one).We start by looking at purported cases of Morgellons disease as it arises in the early 2000's and how individuals grappled with both its symptoms and its perception in society. Along with this we also look at how this disease may be a symptom of internet group think.After looking at the cases we look at what different groups think about this disease. We look at Wikipedia, WebMD, and the Mayo Clinic to see the vastly different framing of what this disease is and what should be done when dealing with those afflicted.We finish off on what I would consider the least fulfilling ending I may have ever had, there is no answer you just gotta digest all the info you're given and either be content in the incompleteness or gather the gumption (and education) and find the answer yourself. I knew you had it in you!!!Please bring your own disinfected seatbelt for this one because we ain't supplying with these kinds of germs (maybe) in the air.In the intro we discuss a meteor that fell into the ocean. Nothing too exciting it might juST BE ALIEN TECHNOLOGY!!! At least according to a Harvard professor... and sure this may not be the first time he's claimed this, it still makes this click baity paragraph correct!Don't forget to follow and listen to any other episodes in our catalogue that may pique your interest.
